Former CIA Director James Woolsey, Jr. will discuss the inter-relationship between cybersecurity, terrorism and the Internet of Things when he gives a keynote address at CyberFest 2016 on Oct. 27 in La Jolla.

Woolsey, 75, served as CIA director from 1993-95, when Bill Clinton was president. His stewardship is partly remembered for the arrest of CIA analyst Aldrich Ames, a KGB agent who was convicted of espionage.

Woolsey is currently chancellor of the Institute for World Politics, a graduate school on national security and international affairs in Washington, D.C.
